We supplied two premade molds for the students to practice cleaning and carving. Greta gave a great demo on the process. The idea was to learn to clean the inside edges and remove potential undercuts and to carve more details. Tools were provided, and many students brought their own tools.

The students cleaned, and the instructors reviewed and helped remove undercuts, and then it was on to make their own molds. Some brought items, and some used supplies provided and cut their own patterns with vinyl.

We had 16 people in Karen Seymour’s backyard. Lots of great food and ideas were shared.

Almost everyone brought things for show and tell. Here Debbie Marchione explains her piece.

About 20 people showed up for the picnic. Our hosts and new Sponsors were Heath and Twyla Lawson at their business Maganda Glassworks LLC. They have a great shop area in a large warehouse type building with lots of stations for working on stained glass, fused glass, lamp work and more. They also have a gallery as you come in the front door, a very nice display for both their own work and that of their students.

Twyla said “We were so honored to be able to share our space with guild members and non-members. We thoroughly enjoyed the conversation and wealth of knowledge present today. We have always envisioned our shop as a place of community and today it certainly was.”

We thank the Lawsons for their hospitality. It was a very fun afternoon visiting with new and old friends in such a welcoming place. (Thank you Daryle Ryder for the report and photos)
